If you are a trek enthusiast who loves undiscovered trails and breathtaking views of the Himalayas, the Bali Pass trek calls your name. Located in the majestic Garhwal Himalayas, this trek is not just about rough terrain—it’s a journey into the beauty of the soul of simple nature.
At 16,200 feet, Bali Pass is a test of endurance and spirit. But every step and every thin breath of warm air creates an unforgettable beauty and sensation that will remain engraved in your memory forever.
The joy of the trail starts in the quaint village of Sankri, a popular tourist destination. The route passes through stunning forests, crystal-clear rivers, and flower-filled meadows straight out of a postcard. As you ascend, the landscape transforms into green barren valleys and snow-filled expanses.
One of the most magical moments comes when you visit Osla, a beautiful village full of legends. Here, the warm hospitality of the locals and the legends of the region remind us of the rich heritage of India.
This route requires flexibility, especially as you approach the top of Bali Pass. The reward? A 360-degree view of spectacular Himalayan peaks like Swarg Rohini, Kalanaga, and Bandar Panch—so surreal, it feels like a divine blessing.
